This weekend it's just peaked again. We've had a couple incidents, when there has been triple murders so unfortunately, it is nothing new for Ocean View.

Residents in the area are fearful and try to keep themselves as safe as they can. Yet the events surrounding Aqeel's death occurred in his home. Cronje says this has raised the level of fear in the community.

She says that the family was awake in the early hours of the morning as they were preparing for a wedding. Someone who was being chased, ran into the house, followed by those chasing him. Then they opened fire.

As it starts getting dark, or at five o'clock, everyone gets indoors so nothing happens to their families. But now its come into the home. I think there's a new lever of fear entirely now.
